Margins don't show up in the Filter list for a Cylindrical Dimension
Margins don't show up in the Filter list for a Cylindrical Dimension
(OP)
This is a problem that has plagued me since Nx 6. I am on 7.5 and when you create a margin, you name an entity (mostly I use lines) MARGINX, MARGINY or MARGINZ. The filter in the baseline command give an asterik for a wild card (MARGIN*). I have used this command forever. Jet engines use a lot of Cylindrical dimensions. Here's my problem, when I change the name of the line to MARGINY, it doesn't show up in the baseline list. The box is empty. Does anyone know if naming a margin has changed, what is the new criteria to name a margin if so? This seems to be intermittent and usually never happens on my machine, I have loaded others with a fresh version and it doesn't work there either. Is there a setting for margins?
Thanks for any help!

Quick pick list showing the line feature and the line object (line object is highlighted).
When naming the line object, you will see entries for the name and the feature name. Enter a value for the name, do not change the feature name.

Thanks again, Art

If the associative option is toggled off, the created line should not show up as a feature in the part navigator. It should be equivalent to creating a line with the old "basic curves" command. If the option is toggled off and you still get an associative line feature, there must be something else going on.
